IBAC-SMS Toolkit

Do you have an appropriate and effective SMS, are you working on developing one, or are you wondering how to do it?

The requirement for commercial operators, and non-commercial operators of turbo-jet and large aeroplanes to have an SMS is quickly approaching. Therefore, you may be interested in the SMS Toolkit that has been developed by IBAC and its member associations with operators like you in mind. The Toolkit includes a hard copy booklet that provides a step-by-step process to develop and implement an SMS plus a CD that contains numerous reference documents and more than 15 individual tools for operators to use in developing, implementing and maintaining their SMS.

An SMS should not be viewed as only a regulatory requirement. An appropriate and effective SMS can enhance safety, efficiency and effectiveness of an operation. A well developed SMS will not cost money, it will save money.

The SMS Toolkit will be included with the January 1, 2009 IS-BAO revision, plus it is available as a stand alone product.
